Best Air Fryer Recipes - What To Cook In An Air Fryer

PHOTO: JOEL GOLDBERG; FOOD STYLING: HADLEY SUI

Years ago (before our first air fryer cookbook was even a twinkle in our eye), we were definitely wary of another kitchen gadget. Our kitchens are full enough as it is (with slow cookers, waffle irons, stand mixers…), so anything new has to be great. Turns out, the air fryer is TOTALLY worth it. Our top reasons why: We love deep-fried foods (who doesn’t?!), but we are not about all the oil, mess, and cleanup involved. The air fryer solves all of that, in less than half the time. It turns out the crispiest, crunchiest foods with juiciness still locked in, thanks to hot air convection cooking. Check out this complete list of all our favorite air fryer recipes to see how versatile it truly can be—and if you don't have one yet, consider this your sign to take the plunge!

What’s really wild is how often we use ours. It’s become our go-to for everything from breakfast to dessert, and has even edged out our toaster as our on-counter appliance of choice. Speaking of toast, you can make almost every one of your regular breakfasts in your air fryer. We’re talking omelets, muffins, avocado toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes… We know, INSANE, right?

It’s just as good at helping you make delicious lunches and dinners too. If you’ve got a main dish you want to spend more hands-on time with, pop your sides in the air fryer and let it do all the work. Veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms & onions, and cauliflower all turn out incredible in the air fryer. You can also make your main dish IN the air fryer. It works magic with proteins like tofu, chicken drumsticks, meatballs, pork chops, fried chicken… even steak.

Need a last-minute appetizer? Stick with your favorites, but make them in your air fryer. Check out our crab artichoke stuffed mushrooms, our loaded zucchini skins, our spinach artichoke zucchini bites, or our bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers for ideas—your air fryer can make them in half their usual time.

And we can’t forget dessert. The air fryer can turn out some really killer options, like a berry crisp, vegan zucchini chocolate cake (so moist!), apple pie “baked” apples, or GF peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Also should be noted, the air fryer is great for reheating things, especially desserts. Have some leftover pie, and don’t want to turn on your oven to warm it up? Want to serve a warm brownie with your ice cream? Have a baked good that needs livening up? Pop them in your air fryer briefly and you’ll never guess they’re not fresh out of the oven.

Air Fryer Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Omelet

This veggie-packed omelet really highlights what an air fryer can do. Customize the fillings just like your very own at-home omelet bar. Hot tip: This omelet will look set on top before it’s fully cooked.

Air Fryer Tandoori Turkey Breast

Keeping the bone in and skin on the turkey breast helps to seal in moisture so the outside doesn’t dry out from the intense air fryer heat. Instead you get crispy skin and a super moist, tandoori-spiced turkey breast. 😍

Air Fryer Pork Chops

Most of the time, we don't get very excited over pork chops. Often overdone, they come out dry, sad, and flavorless. Cooking them in an air fryer changes all that. Due to the intense heat circulation that happens, the outside crisps slightly while the inside stays nice and juicy.

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

The fact that crispy golden chicken can be achieved without the use of any oil whatsoever is amazing (not to mention how quickly the air fryer can do it!). There's no need to turn on your oven or make a whole oily mess on your stovetop: This chicken Parm tastes every bit as good as the traditional version with much less effort to get there.

Air Fryer Tofu

To get crispy tofu you'd typically need to heat up a bunch of oil, worrying about over cooking or a messy cleanup. But, the air fryer makes getting perfect golden brown tofu a cinch.

Air Fryer Orange Chicken

Typically deep- or pan-fried in oil, the option to air fry orange chicken instead saves a ton of calories and fat. Of course, this dish is perfect over rice or whole grains, but if you are looking for a low-carb side, serve this over simple air fried vegetables, letting them soak up the extra sauce in place of grains.

Air Fryer Fried Brown Rice

The best thing about fried rice is that it works better with day-old grains. BUT we found this air fryer recipe works just as well with packaged cooked brown rice. Great news, cheaters!

Air Fryer Tostones with Creamy Mojo Dipping Sauce

Though they’re typically twice fried, these tostones are as crispy as the classic version with a fraction of the fat—and there's no scary pot full of hot oil! The mojo-inspired sauce is so good and easy, you’ll want to make it with or without the tostones. Keep it in your back pocket when you need a quick dip for veggies or chips.

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash

Smoked paprika and dill make these supercharged potatoes a savory breakfast-lover’s dream. Change up the spices depending on what’s in the pantry (chili powder would be nice!). This is a pretty powerful breakfast as is, but for extra oomph, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a poached egg on top.

Cooking bacon in an air fryer is pretty easy.

Jess Dang, chef and founder of meal-planning service Cook Smarts, told Insider that bacon is one of her favorite things to cook in an air fryer.

"Fat drips from the bacon and out of the basket, so the bacon ends up leaner," she told Insider. "It's so much less messy and requires less supervision than other cooking methods. "

For a quick dessert, try cooking up some bananas.

Air fryers can turn slices of plain fruit into deliciously caramelized treats, Dang said, and she recommends using bananas. 

"I slice them in half lengthwise and add them to banana splits," she explained. "Sometimes I'll brush them with a little coconut oil first for an extra-special treat."

Yankel Polak, head chef at ButcherBox, told Insider that it's possible to cook a delicious steak in an air fryer.  

"Rub the steak with a little olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper before cooking," he said. "The olive oil helps it get a really good sear and the salt and pepper give a simple, yet satisfying flavor."

To make sure your steak cooks evenly, Polak said, flip it over halfway through the cooking time. This ensures both sides of the meat have contact with the hot surface of the basket.

Whether you're looking for the perfect salad topping or just want something healthy to snack on, air-fried chickpeas may be the answer.  

"Air-fried chickpeas are crispy, portable, and delicious," said Dang. "You can easily toss in some spices and seasonings along with a small amount of oil to jazz them up a little."

Za'atar, curry powder, or chili powder are perfect seasonings to experiment with if you want to add an extra kick of flavor to air-fried chickpeas. 

Air-fried doughnuts are often light and fluffy.

If you're looking for a way to make homemade doughnuts a bit less calorie-dense, try using an air fryer instead of a deep fryer.  

Polak told Insider that the secret to delectable air-fried doughnuts is to avoid putting a very wet batter in the air fryer. 

"Opt for making your doughnut batter more like bread dough for a cake-like consistency. The key is to use more flour than egg," they said. 

 

This appliance can help you make crunchy, homemade chicken nuggets.

Skip the store-bought chicken nuggets and whip up your own batch at home with an air fryer.  

"The air fryer is terrific for keeping crunchy, coated chicken juicy and tender," said Polak. "Just make sure to moisten your chicken with a swipe of olive oil or mustard to keep the breading adhered."

It's also important not to go overboard with breading — adding too much can lead to the coating being blown off by the airflow of the air fryer.

"The air fryer yields a much juicier chicken breast than either the oven or stovetop," said Dang. "Due to the compact design of an air fryer, there's not as much room for the juices to evaporate like they sometimes do with other methods."

Using an air fryer can help take some of the guesswork out of preparing seafood. It can also help you to avoid dry, overcooked fish. 

"I recommend using an air fryer for baked or breaded fish. The hot air gets the outside of the fish nice and crispy without overcooking the inside," said Polak. 

Air fryers can take gnocchi from gummy to golden.

Dang told Insider that she thinks using an air fryer is one of the best ways to prepare premade, frozen gnocchi.

"The first time I tried frozen cauliflower gnocchi, I didn't get the appeal — I just wound up with a gummy mess," she said. "But when I tried them again in the air fryer, they came out golden and crispy." 

Personal pizzas are just the right size for cooking in this appliance.

Dang said air fryers are ideal for cooking small frozen or homemade pizzas.

"Because an air fryer has a small cavity that doesn't require preheating, it gets the cheese bubbly and the bread toasted much faster than an oven would," she told Insider. 

Dang added that combining naan bread, tomato sauce, and mozzarella makes for a quick and tasty personal pizza that's perfect for cooking in an air fryer.

Chef Zach Cummings of Timbers Kauai in Lihue, Hawaii, told Insider that baby carrots are one of his favorite foods to prepare in an air fryer.  

"The intense, focused heat of the air fryer achieves this beautiful caramelization in a fraction of the time it takes to cook baby carrots that way in a traditional oven," said Cummings. 

For perfectly caramelized carrots, Cummings said, coat them in extra-virgin olive oil, toasted fennel seeds, fresh thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Cook them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes and shake the basket halfway through.

Use the appliance to make your own kale chips.

Since air fryers use extremely hot air to both cook and remove surface moisture from foods, they're actually great for making kale chips.  

Cummings said he recommends tossing kale with coconut oil and sea salt before adding the leaves to your air fryer.

"The air fryer brings out the aroma of the coconut while keeping the kale chips light," he explained. 

Stuffed peppers are an easy and versatile air-fryer dish.

Chelsea Knight, chef at Fable Lounge in Nashville, Tennessee, told Insider that stuffed peppers cook well in an air fryer.

"You can use any kind of filling, from a delicious cream cheese to your favorite meat," said Knight. "I would also suggest wrapping the peppers in bacon."

For a savory, air-fryer party snack, you can also try stuffing smaller peppers with cubes of mozzarella and serving them with a marinara dipping sauce. 

Air-fried zucchini makes for a crispy snack or side dish.

Coating fresh zucchini coins or slices in bread crumbs and popping them in an air fryer makes for a crunchy, plant-based snack.

"Fried zucchini is a healthy side dish that you can dress up with your favorite spices, or keep it simple with just some olive oil, salt, and pepper," said Knight.

The ability to turn thin slices of potatoes into crispy chips is one reason air fryers are popular. But, as Knight pointed out, you don't have to stick to plain spuds for your homemade chips. 

"You can definitely use regular white potatoes, but you can also substitute sweet potatoes," said Knight. 

For best results, it's a wise idea to coat your potato slices with a touch of olive or vegetable oil before placing them in the air fryer.

Chicken wings are sometimes battered and cooked in oil, which can make them high-calorie and greasy. If you're looking for a lighter alternative, Knight said, try air-frying your wings instead. 

"Chicken wings are great to cook in an air fryer as a snack or a whole meal," Knight told Insider. "Air-frying means that you still get crispy wings without the added calories of deep-frying."

What can be cooked in an air grill, simple recipes for dishes

Once you try to cook on an air grill, you will not be able to refuse it. It is so convenient, versatile and practical that it can be compared to a compact size convection oven. In an air grill, you can smoke, and cook pastries, and stew, and cook. And all this without the addition of fat and oil.

How to cook with an Airfryer?

Thousands of dishes are prepared on the airfryer at home. Just before starting cooking, you should study its main capabilities and features. The most important thing in it is the cover, in which the heating system, control panel and fan are built. A glass flask plays the role of an oven or chamber. In this flask, the process of cooking takes place. When the device is in operation, a halogen lamp or heating element heats the air inside the flask to the set temperature, and the fan circulates.

Modern aerogrills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke foods or preserve them.

There are several modes for preparing different types of food. Modern air grills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke food or preserve them.

An interesting feature of cooking is that fat is rendered from meat and poultry and possible additives that some producers may use. All the liquid drains neatly into a separate bowl (if you cook food on a wire rack).

Advantages of the device that make food tastier and cooking more enjoyable:

  • multi-functionality;
  • can be cooked in any dish, except for plastic and wooden ones;
  • no need to add oil or fat;
  • simplicity and speed of preparation.

Airfryer is used instead of an oven, toaster, grill, frying pan, roaster, double boiler and other kitchen appliances. It can defrost and reheat food. Thanks to its compactness, it saves kitchen space, and you can also take it with you on the road.

Food in clay pots is especially tasty - cereals, sour cream, milk, soups, potatoes and mushrooms taste like they are cooked in a real Russian oven. Meat, fish and poultry can be baked on skewers or on a grill.

It is important for every housewife that food does not burn in the air grill at the right temperature. You can set the operating mode and go about your business. Due to the fan, each ingredient will be cooked evenly. This is especially convenient when cooking in breadcrumbs, as they usually burn on the pan.

The secret of making breaded cutlets is as follows: prepared semi-finished products or homemade cutlets are smeared with a little oil and baked on a wire rack for 10 minutes on each side. Wings or kebabs are prepared in the same way.

How to use the Airfryer?

All flask accessories included. Before cooking, you need to place in it (depending on the recipe) either a baking sheet, or a wire rack, or a heat-resistant pan. If space allows, you can place several dishes at once. It is better to cook a whole bird, large pieces of meat or fish on the lower grate.

Before the start of the working process, the temperature mode, cooking time and air circulation intensity are set. A bonus for the cook is the opportunity to observe the whole process through a transparent flask. After cooking is complete, be sure to wash the appliance.

What to cook?

It will take a very long time to list what you can cook in an air grill at home. The main types of culinary goodies include cooking recipes:

  • smoked;
  • grill;
  • pizzas;
  • casseroles;
  • champignons;
  • vegetables;
  • baked vegetables and meats;
  • soups and cereals.

Cured meats are interesting and tasty. At home, with the help of an air grill, you can get a rich and special aroma of smoked meats. Experienced chefs advise using alder shavings or "liquid smoke" for the best effect.

To cook smoked fish, cook it as usual: wash it, rub it with salt, brush it with “liquid smoke” and leave it to soak for an hour. After that, we tie it with a rope and lower it into the flask on the grate. The baking temperature for mackerel is set at 180 o C, for carp and other fish about 150 o C. Cooking time is 30 minutes.

For the preparation of smoked meat, the same technology is used as for fish: we wash the meat, rub it with salt, process it with “liquid smoke” and leave it to marinate for an hour. Put the alder shavings into the heated grill and put the meat with the addition of a small amount of water. The dish is cooked for 30 minutes at a temperature of 240 o C with medium fan speed.

The most unusual dish cooked in an air grill will be homemade sprats.
